Ravindra Jadeja played a pinch hitter’s role in the win of the Rajasthan team with a strike rate of 131 and an average of about 20. A year later, he was then called for ODI and T20I matches against Sri Lanka.
Unfortunately, Jadeja couldn’t make a name in his initial years of international cricket. However, when he joined Chennai super kings, all came in his favor and that was a turning point in his career.
